I can't make sense of the West as far as how these playoffs shape up.

Kawhi keeps this up, it won't matter how destructive Brick can be/is.

 

[noblekane]

fox missing free throws is huge

 

[iheartboost]

What firmware update is KW running on?

 

[nelson999]

Kawhi Leonard in the 3rd Q: 21 pts, 8-8 FG, 5-5 from 3

Sabonis taken out of the game with bs foul trouble.

Somehow not a blowout. ill take it

We’re about to find out

Feel like neither team is really playing “bad” defense. Pace is crazy and Clips are shooting 65% from 3. Don’t get what you’re supposed to do.

Klay and Kawhi put on a show tonight.

 

[HIM]

This pace is too much for me

 

[frink85]

Triple digits plus after 3 quarters

The Kings definitely suck at defense.
However, 43 combined Free throws through 3 quarters. Combined with some insane shooting (clippers 64.5% from 3, WTF) and yea youre gonna have a ridiculous score

 

[reconic supreme]

this game is legitimately insane

 

[nelson999]

wtf is this shooting man. Batum making these ridiculous shots lol

 

[tupac003]

65% from 3 for the Clippers.

This is nuts.

65% from 3 for the Clippers.

This is nuts.

Westbrook effect

 

[QU!K]

Piss test Batum

 

[noblekane]

jesus kings wont go away

 

[nelson999]

even Davion Mitchell made a 3. they definitely got something funny going on with the rims in LA

 

[ballinsam23]

I am not. Rings culture is a pox on basketball discourse. Look at the MVP thing. The main point against giving it to Jokic is that he has no title, something that has nothing to do with the Reg Season at all

In the end of the day you play to win. Rings should matter. I get it though, team construction isnt on the player. Grey area.

But yea MVP award is way different. People just don’t like when someone wins an award multiple years in a row, unless you’re a top 10 player ever.

 

[tay1]

This score is equally impressive and nasty at the same time

 

[lawdog1]

I can’t NT with this game. See y’all tomorrow.

 

[T0INE]

Highly sports entertaining game in LA tonight.

Kiwi in playoff form.

 

[reconic supreme]

dawg this already looking like an ASG score

Both teams basically playing 5out, whipping the ball around and shooting at an elite level. Just a completely different game from the 90s/early 00s.
